SR - India Farmer (non scholarship - likely done after this year)

For the sake of argument, I'm going to say that K. Davis and Gray return to next year's team and that we have no transfers out or in. I'm also going to assume that Tiffany Davis may return (she may or may not in actuality). South Carolina currently has 12 players on scholarship, with 1 senior graduating (Alaina Coates).. so that leaves 11 players for next season and 4 available scholarships for the 2017 class.

Currently, SC has a 2017 class of Elisia Grissett and Haley Troup. That leaves two more scholarships available for the remaining players that SC is recruiting: Evina Westbrook, Chennedy Carter, Anastasia Hayes, Kasiyahna Kushkituah, Shalexxus Aaron, LaDazhia Williams, and I'm assuming we're still in it with Cara Ursin. Ursin hasn't released her finalists yet but SC was a favorite in her most recent announcement.

My prediction: I'm assuming Aaron stays on the West Coast. She seems to be favoring the Pac12 schools a lot. She even recently visited Texas Tech from the Big12. I think Anastasia Hayes decides to go to either Ole Miss or Tennessee. I'm not sure where we stand with Ursin just yet, but Baylor and South Carolina were the favorites at one point. Wait and see with her. I think the class is rounded out with either Westbrook or Carter and Williams or Kushkituah.

UPDATE: ESPN #54 ranked 4-star player Bianca Jackson commits to Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks late Monday night. She's a 5'11 wing from Alabama.. I'm not sure of her finalists besides the fact that Tennessee was one of her schools she was planning on visiting before her OV.

UPDATE:Here's a late night treat, a neat podcast interview with Coach Alfred Morris, one of the head coaches for the FBC AAU program out of Atlanta (a program that SC recruits heavily). SKIP FORWARD to the 1:44:00 mark to hear the beginning of that interview.

UPDATE:Anastasia Hayes - ESPN #9 overall, #5 point guard, has committed to the Tennessee Lady Vols. She's the first commit of the 2017 class for them. Tennessee has a chance to put together a really good class here (possibly top 10-ish). I think Evans (another top ten point guard) will commit to Tennessee as well. Kushkituah could elect to join them as well if she's paying attention to their post situation.

UPDATE:Shalexxus Aaron - ESPN #85 overall, #16 wing has committed to the University of Southern California. She had a final group of South Carolina, Arizona, Oregon State, Rutgers, Southern Cal, Texas, Washington.
